I get a couple of these every two days or so. They usually accuse me of trying to sell my account or hacking the game, then ask me to go to the US website (as opposed to the EU site I need to log into; fail phishers) to verify my details.
I wonder if they'll ever learn that not all of us are complete morons who believe anything we see?

But they never asked to mail them your password! For Beta-Acess!

I still wouldn't trust it, Dan. If Blizzard give you a Beta access invite for a game, it would show up on your Battle.net account. If you don't have a Battle.net account, the e-mail is a scam.

I know. I always check the real page first and never click any links in such mails.

Looks like they've started sending out a new one. Dear customer, This is an automated notification sent from our account security system. You logined your account successfully at 4:27 on December 18th form the [IP 1] range, but our system shows the [IP 2, a totally different IP] IP range exists a large number of hackers. As too many customer complaints, the [IP 3, again not what it was the first couple of times] IP range has been blacklisted. We are concerned about whether your account has been stolen. In order to guarantee the legitimacy of your account, visit click: www.battle.net/account/support/password-verify.html website fill out some information to facilitate our investigation. Account security is solely the responsibility of the accountholder. Please be advised that in the event of a compromised account, Blizzard representatives will typically lock the account. In these cases the Account Administration team will require faxed receipt of ID materials before releasing the account for play. Sincerely, Blizzard account system Blizzard EntertainmentNow, because I'm incredibly bored, let's see how many mistakes there are! 1) There's no such word as "logined". 2) It's "from", not "form"! Context, you idiots! 3) You got this information from my IP? Isn't that all kinds of illegal -anyway-? 4) Speaking of my IP, why did it change three times in one sentence? 5) I'm fairly certain a gaming company can't blacklist an entire IP range. 6) "Visit click"? What, did you just stop trying at that point? 7) There is no such website as triple-w battle dot net (I have reasons for typing that out longhand). Although they've never got that one right, either. 8) Account holder is two words, not one, you monkeys. Eight mistakes! It's easy to spot a fake e-mail when you possess the basic education level of a primary school child, isn't it?

the battle dot net part is right. the triple-w part isn't that wrong either. you get redirect to your corresponding region battle.net in my case eu.battle.net. But I guess if you click it or analyze the link you'll be redirected to some xxx.stealyour.pw page

omg did you logined from a totally different IP? like, totally hahaha XD You'd think they'd at the very least, use spellcheck xD or even show it to someone who knows English haha I always look closely at the urls pretty much spot the difference, n yeh when i first read it, i couldn't see what was wrong with www battlenet url , must be hidden like dan said place your bets, chinese, russian, turkish, other I'm going to go with chinese, the hidden url should give a clue

Sehr geehrter Kunde,
unser Sicherheitssystem hat festgestellt, dass eine unbefugte Person versucht hat, Zugriff zu Ihrem Amazon-Kundenkonto zu erlangen. Wir bitten Sie daher, Ihren Account zu verifizieren, um sicher zu stellen, dass sich Ihr Konto noch in Ihrem Besitz befindet und nicht von Dritten missbraucht werden kann.
Rufen Sie dazu bitte den folgenden Link in Ihrem Browser auf und folgen Sie den Anweisungen:
*link removed*
Falls Sie Ihren Account nicht innerhalb von 48 Stunden verifizieren, müssen wir diesen leider zu Ihrer Sicherheit dauerhaft sperren.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Mithilfe.
Ihr Amazon.de-Team
To avoid you using the Google translator:
The mail basicly says that an illegal person tried to us my Amazon account and I shall verify by clicking the link that the account is still owned by me. If I don't do this within the next 48 hours will they bann my account.
The most suspicious is the header of the mail - and it's strange that they address me with "Dear Customer" instead of my name, That's why I think it's a phishing mail.
But why should someone want Amazon customer account informations? As soon as you try to send a delivery to a new address will you need to re-enter your billing information (or enter completely new one) - that's a security system by Amazon to avoid illegal using of an account. Unless the link also asks for billing informations... *shrugs*

It's also suspicious that they 'unfortunately' need to ban the account 'permanent'. It is their duty to ban a misused account and also banning an account 'permanent' sound like a phrase from a MMO phising mail

Believe it is a phishing attempt, online shops don't ban accounts as dan (was gonna say yukfu xD) pointed out, or give 24hr deadlines, they (especially amazon) would phone you if something as serious as account hacking has happened, suspend the account yes, but terminate with no cause or evidence of card fraud? almost impossible.The starting url will tell all! (delivery address wise, i think you can send gifts to other locations? unsure) i know amazon asks at each order which address to dispatch to... thanks for translating, but dont you dare put your info in there woman :L

To be honest, phishing or not, clicking on that link would be too risky. (So don't do it)
Not reacting and letting Amazon ban the account has no (major) negative impact on you anyway. I mean (if this is real) banning it would stop the unauthorised party from gaining access (which is a good thing). Then when you need to use Amazon again, just make a new account/get them to lift the ban.
